SEO Post: Impact of Google Search Wiki on Google Page Ranks

Today Google introduced Google SearchWiki
They are introducing this after the failure of Google Bookmarks. The idea behind the introduction of this Search Wiki is not only to help users, but also to create a manual ranking system based on user preference and manual keyword additions.
Consider a person pushed the position of a site to the top of a list (eg.BBC) and added wiki text - "My fav news site" then next time Google will give preference to that site if you are logged in. Thats the story so far.

Now suppose Google consider the information added to sites through SearchWiki as tags/keywords for that site and Google can fix a keyword and a top site based on the input from global users. For example among 1000 users if 200 labelled/added wiki text containing the word news to bbc.com and 500 users labelled/added wiki text to wikipedia.org , then after a google dance/ or a google page rank update the positions can change drastically killing lot of SEOs . This happens because even if some spam sites come on top in Google Search people might accidentally click it due to the eye-popping titles, so Google's engine might have failed in finding the best results.

To keep the story short , in other words If 1000 hiked the position of BBC and 2000 hiked the position wikipedia for the same query, then after a rank update BBC will be on top...



To keep it really short If 100000s of people conduct a search and 10000s of people remove a particular site from their personal search globally then Google will reduce its rank.

This will be a real challenge to SEOs.

Sister Abhaya Murder Case :: Is KM Mani a Fraud ?

Sister Abhaya, a nun of the St Pius convent at Kottayam who was murdered 16 years ago
Case No. RC 8(S)/93 (Sister Abhaya Case-1992). The CBI took over the case on March 29, 2003, and filed three closure reports, saying though it was a case of murder, the suspects could not be found. The High Court refused to accept the report and asked the probe agency to further investigate.

CBI made the arrests 24 hours after Sanju P Mathew's statement. Listen to the Asianet News featuring Abhaya Case

Father Thomas M Kottoor and Father Jose Puthrukkayil and Sister Sephy, were arrested by the CBI's Special Crime unit on Wednesday. The suspects were presented to court today. Sister Abey was seen crying... Angry mob were calling "CBI ki Jai"...

They have been remanded for 14 days(till Dec 2) for custodial interrogation. No mental or physical torture should be happen and medical assistance should be provided.

CBI says "We have evidence. Let's not talk about it now. We will do our best. Please allow us to investigate some more time. We have best of team . Don't write something which is wrong. We will inform the developments. We will complete the case as soon as possible. If we say something now accuse will try to cover up."

Jomon Puthenpurackal said "KM Maani tried to destroy the case throughout the investigation". KM Mani was elected to the Kerala Legislative Assembly for the first time in 1965 from Pala. Since then he has won all the ten elections that followed in 1965, 1967, 1970, 1977, 1980, 1982, 1987, 1991, 1996 and 2001.

Kottayam Athiroopatha released a statement that CBI is trying to save their face.

The CBI does not take up investigation of conventional crimes like murder, theft, robbery etc unless directed by the Supreme Court/High Courts or referred by State Governments. Public interest in the case was re-ignited in April last year after a newspaper reported that Abhaya's medical reports were tampered with at a chemical laboratory in state capital Thiruvananthapuram.

96 pct of Black Americans voted for Obama. That's racism !

Tag Cloud of Obama's VictorySpeech. Democratic Senator Barack Obama has made his first speech as President-elect of the United States after defeating rival John McCain.

He told supporters in Chicago: "Change has come to America".



Obama will be President for the next four years...

Bush,McCain congratulates Obama on victory, says all Americans can be proud.


What do you want Obama to do environment?
Is President Obama, good for technology, world markets..? Is obama against outsourcing to India?
2008-9-18- Democratic nominee Barack Obama slammed John McCain this week over the outsourcing of American jobs..Barack Obama opposes outsourcing, saying, "We
can keep giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, or we can give tax benefits to companies that invest right here in U.S."

Sources said McCain continued to drink alone until well after midnight, at which point fellow patrons had to carry the sleeping senator to a couch in the back office..

Barack Obama had breakfast with his two young daughters, and then saw them off to school. It’s the kind of simple pleasure he’s missed out on during his long and now successful campaign for the White House. Then, Obama headed for the gym—wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and workout clothes. But he has some work to do as well. He’s expected to quickly start putting together a white House staff and selecting Cabinet nominees. Campaign officials say Congressman Rahm Emanuel of Illinois is the front-runner to be Obama’s chief of staff. Starting tomorrow, Obama will be getting daily intelligence briefings like the ones he’ll receive as president....

The new President will be inside White House only on jan 20 or so with his cabinet...This is the beginning of the end of United States as its no longer United... It is now a country divided based on race...
